I had a tummy tuck 13 years ago, and i still have severe itching above my belly button, 24-7. I have to used itching cream all the time, what can I do to make the itching go away, thank you.
Answer: Postoperative itching It sounds like you may be experiencing nerve related pain which is causing the severe itching. I would follow up with your PCP and discuss medication options such as gabapentin. You may also want to try a daily allergy medication such as Claritin. Best of luck.
